Chapter 42: Punished for not singing
Exams came a week later, almost a month into the school year. Soon after the exam, it was the eleventh day holiday. The first time we tested it was math. It's not that hard for me. There were two classes to spare, and after I finished the papers, there was more than enough time. Glancing at Li Yaowen next to him, he seemed to be ready. I'm checking it with my head down.
I glanced at the math teacher walking back and forth in front of the podium, and then turned my attention back to checking my papers. About ten minutes later, the bell rang for the end of class. The math teacher told us to stop writing and hand in the papers. When I stood up, Li Yaowen also stood up. He asked me how I was doing, and I said it was okay. He laughed and said he was okay too.
After handing in the papers, we returned to our seats. The people in front and behind started talking about it. I heard Xing Jiaze ask Li Yaowen the answer to the penultimate application question, and Li Yaowen said a number. Xing Jiaze's face immediately changed.
It looks like I'm doing something wrong, I thought to myself. I've been muttering for a long time, at least until the curls come down. The last lesson of the morning was a music class, taught by a bald Humpty Dumpty. No matter how you say it, you have to be forty years old. He taught us rap face makeup in two classes, and this class is to be checked.
To be honest, I don't sing very well, it's a bit incomplete. Although there was music class in elementary school, no one taught it at all. The deepest impression is that when I was in the first grade, there was a teacher Zhu who taught us school songs. She seems to have studied music, and even taught us music scores. I was very interested at the time, so I studied very seriously. I still remember that score. Unfortunately, it didn't take long for her to be transferred to another school. Since then, no one has taught music lessons. Occasionally, there was a music lesson, and the teacher took a tape recorder and played two songs for us to listen to. What we listened to the most was to make us swing the sculls and childhood, when the textbooks were all there, and we watched the textbooks sing along to the tape recorder. At that time, it didn't matter whether the singing was good or not, anyway, there were a lot of people, so it was right to follow the indiscriminate filling.
And now it's better, but you still have to check them one by one? I know my singing ability, because when I had nothing to do before, I had a book to sing about my childhood and let us swing the sculls. Not to mention how ugly it was, I almost couldn't even listen to myself.
Seeing that it was almost time for us to be in the group, the only thing I hated at the moment was how I sat in the fourth row, not the last.
"Next!" Humpty Dumpty said after letting the person in front of him sit down. I saw Li Yaowen stand up. My heart suddenly jumped violently, and it was over, and I was next. But I don't know at all, my mind is cranky at the same time. I heard Li Yaowen singing there, 'The blue Dou Erdun steals the royal horse, the red-faced Guan Gong fights Changsha...... 'This is the first time I have heard Li Yaowen sing, but I didn't expect it to be the same. When he finished singing, Humpty Dumpty told him to sit down. Now I can understand what it means to have a heartbeat in my throat. How I wish I was invisible now, or that he was blind or something. Anyway, if you can't see me, but......
"Next!"
I stood up slowly, opened my mouth, and didn't spit out half a word for a long time. The music teacher looked up at me after half a ring, "Why don't you sing?" ”
"I ...... I ......whispered, feeling a fever on my face. I know that my classmates in the class must be watching me now, and Li Yaowen must be too. Thinking of this, I actually felt the urge to cry. And such a thought suddenly rose in my heart inexplicably.
"Can't sing? Can't sing such a simple song? The music teacher said, no matter what I thought in my heart, "Then you sing two sentences for me, and I'll see how one can't sing!" ”
I remained silent, just standing. After a while, the music teacher really couldn't do anything with me, so he asked the people behind me to continue singing. And I just stood like that until the end of class. Since then, I've hated music lessons and the music teacher. But God seemed to be against me, and in the next semester, the history class in our class was actually replaced by him.
When the school bell rang, I finally sat back on my stool. Li Yaowen saw that I was a little depressed, so he comforted me and said, "It's nothing if I can't sing, and I'm actually not very good at it." That's what I said. ”
I glared at him, and said don't bother me, be careful that I hit you. But he didn't pay attention to my eyes, packed up his textbook and asked me if I wanted to go to the cafeteria to eat together. I pretended to be dumb and ignored him, and at this time, Xu Haoran was shouting at him. Li Yaowen answered him, and said to me, then he will go first. Seeing that I still ignored him, he had to get up and walk outside with Xu Haoran.
